I and some of the other lenders are looking for help with collection of bad BTC debts. The debts are usually pretty small so we are looking for an someone who just wants to try to help on some of these to see what happens. You should live near the borrower. IBM (my BTC lending service) is currently sitting on three bad debts but there are many more where these came from - bad debts owned by the other lenders as well:

NOTE that the total doubleicaras (UK) debt is a lot larger, this is just the part owed to IBM.

Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security. Read all about it here: http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/ Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated!

I might have a business trip down in KY soon. I can bring a co-worker who is 6'8" and 425 lbs.

Not asking for that kind of help. I am looking for someone to do some detective work. Possibly meet the guy. Then we will look at legal options. Your suggestion would come into play much later in the process

If your lending model requires such actions, then you're doing it wrong imo.

You are almost always (w)right.

Going after people not repaying their debt will be a deterrent for others to it as well.

This is not lame, and in isolation unlikely to be profitable, but I support the effort wholeheartedly (I will not be assisting with collecting). Note that a lower amount of scams will also bring down the average interest rate to a more healthy level.

At least two are scammers (dunno about bcj), not honest defaulters, so no, not really. DI even claims the "DI" who was on this forum committed identity theft.

I see, okay so how about something like Zopa (https://uk.zopa.com/lending/great-returns) where your identity is verified, you're assigned a score and then lenders and share the risk by splitting the amount they invest amongst multiple borrowers.

Anyway I'm in the London area so let me know if I can help 200BTC is quite an amount...
